@@user-dp7vt3wo9e that's true on paper, but very naive to say. Unless a person growing up has no friends and no life, they are going to be heavily exposed to drugs. Many people are even shunned by their friends if they don't use. Never using anything is possible, but well over 50% of the population will use alcohol or some type of drug during their lives.

[@ryanharmon2585]

Johnny love your podcast and your guest lists, and though your getting a little bit better, you have to let your guests finish their sentences. You ask the right questions also, but right when they are about to explain the story, you cut them off with another question. We can all tell you have 100 questions for your guests (which is cool) but a little advise, have some structured questions at first, write down say…..your top 15 questions and just let them finish answering them. But other than that, great job Johnny!!

[@kkuttg1183]

Yea n he needs to humble himself. Quit acting like he’s knows everything. That “you probably sold one of my packs “ lines was like come on relax

Since we're givin' out tips, I might as well advise you that the word "advise" is a verb. Hopefully you'll find this *"advice"* helpful.

[@mikemaldanado6015]

a few points 1) even though he was not cutting his coke, it was definitely being cut on every stop on the way to the usa. it's smart that he didn't cut it even more. 2) I grew up in brooklyn but moved to the e. village when i was 17 and used to get my shit from one of his delivery boys. small world.3) my friend owned a shop on orchard and every shop on that street got shaken down by the mafia, The e.village projects were not nearly as dangerous as the ones in the bronx/brooklyn. Bodegas did sell to white people. i never had a problem. OK i could go on buy i'm tripping that he is on your show and thati was one of his customers.
